Run With Compassion 5K 2026

Run With Compassion 5K is a chip-timed 5K run/walk on the Starmount High School cross country course in Boonville, North Carolina. The main race starts at 9:00 AM EST, and the event also includes an earlier Pastor Dash at 8:15 AM EST. The 5K is aimed at school-age kids, families, and youth groups as much as regular runners, with all proceeds going to Compassion Care Center to support free services for moms in need and the local community. The Pastor Dash adds a playful local-church rivalry: pastors run a short sprint against each other for the title of “Fastest Pastor.”
